Kunstler: Hope and Change Are At Hand
It seems unfair that the earnest polymath Elon Musk should go broke in the electric car business while Kylie Jenner becomes a billionaire at age 20 hawking lip gloss on Snapchat, but that’s how the American Dream rolls these late days of empire. Perhaps the lesson here, for all you MBA wannabes, is that Mr. Musk could switch his production facilities from cars to lip gloss. Of course, to successfully market his new line of cosmetics on social media, Elon might have to consider sexual “reassignment” surgery — unless he could persuade American men via Facebook and Twitter, that lip enhancement boosts male self-esteem almost as much as the purchase of a Ford F-450 pickup truck at a laughable fraction of the cost.
Which raises an interesting question: if President Donald Trump’s most winning personal feature is that magnificent golden hair-do, why doesn’t he (or his family) get out of the pain-in-the-ass hotel business, with all its construction and maintenance issues and dirty sheets, and just put out shampoo? He is obviously adept at Twitter marketing and surely scores high in global brand recognition.
Which raises any number of other major questions about the proper functioning of the US economy. For instance, millions of Americans, especially of Kylie J’s gen, are wasting their lives working dead-end minimum wage jobs manning (personing?) the nation’s fry-o-lator stations when they could start billion dollar cosmetic companies. After all, if you really want to be successful in this land of success stories, don’t you have to first look and feel successful? Perhaps that’s all you really need… forget all those pain-in-the-ass products with their vexing assembly-line, packing, and shipping problems. Just get America feeling great about itself, starting with the most important person in the room: YOU!
Only two things stand in the way: tattoos and blubber. At the rate our fellow citizens are adorning themselves with inky autobiographies, ever fewer will want to cover up their personal messaging with icky makeup. And the remorseless increase in body size implies a concomitant increase in available epidermal sites for said personal messaging — so maybe the tattoo industry ought to be the basis of the next American economy, not electric cars and journeys to Mars, or even lip gloss. Just think of all those empty brick-and-mortar retail spaces out there begging to become Ink Spots! I may be wrong about this, but I haven’t heard of any tattoo billionaires…yet. Who will dare to be first? (Yet another Kardashian?)
With oldest sibling Kim Kardashian-West considering a run for the White House in 2024 the nation can finally cast aside the bygone business model of a pain-in-the-ass manufacturing altogether and concentrate on the more important matters of personal grooming, branding, networking, and leveraging the unfulfilled wishes of the countless under-tattooed into an economy once again on-the-move! Imagine the effect that a President Kim K-W will have on the by-then ancient monster-of-the-east, Vladimir Putin, in their first summit meeting. We’ll have no more election trouble from those meddlesome Kremlin thugs. Maybe the pair will ride horses shirtless together in an amazing display of glasnost and international cooperation.
Don’t despair, readers, fellow Americans, and whoever else might be looking at this in the NSA back office. Hope and change are finally in the wind for real. Two hundred years of swinging pickaxes in the coal mines, sweating on the assembly line, and toiling on the loading dock are coming to an end. The singularity is almost at hand — and surprisingly not the one that Ray Kurzweil ordered. Who needs orgasmic polymorphic super-intelligence in all the parallel universes beyond the end of time when you can reach for brand supremacy here in this best of all possible worlds. Kylie J., you go girl!

aswang phils is seriously lacking supertards. no safe electricity, no clean sanitation and solution to everything is lead. duterte is gone in a matter of time if not when. the killing can not be stopped once it’s started.
that’s defintion of failed state and you sitting prety on it aswang. failed state have no peaceful and lawful to solve problems so they resort to “final solutions”
poor you aswang.
fmr-paultard on Sat, 14th Jul 2018 8:58 pm
aswang your phil bf’s can’t save you. they executed the white woman in daylight. no special treatment when it comes to lead poisoning. in functioning society (not failed state), you jail and put people on trial. unfortunately failed state do not have money or supertards to carry out the duty of an advanced country. even isis did a better job. the thing people fear is isis’s bureacracy, not their savagery. the kept note of everything but even their system is bordering failed state because they rely on lead poisoning. i’d say they’re slightly above phils
fmr-paultard on Sat, 14th Jul 2018 9:21 pm
aswang, as a tard and not a supertard you went to phils to find bfs while i am a tard and i don’t score and i have several bfs just being in america. logic dictates i’m a better tard.
so let me teach you a lesson: in phils the solution to drugs or cigarette is lead poisoning.
did this comes after consulting with supertards, lawyers, ethicists, humanist, religious leaders, economists, or strategists?
NO
this is not how an advance society solve problems.
If the problem is not solved properly then nobody knows if lead poisoning will work, nobody knows the scope of poisoning, no one knows how to stop the killing, nobody knows how to settle disputes, nobody knows how the revenge killing will stop
Nobody knows how to counter jihadists argument that sharia law is needed for phils.
the first thing jihadists do is killing then their solution is sharia. problem reaction solution.
banda aceh was OK until tsunami. problem tsunami, reaction, solution sharia law

FMR Retard: You are obviously as insane and deluded as Davy and MM. Not to mention a poor writing ability. Is English a second language?
You also have a weird, deluded picture of the Ps. Must be the drugs you are snorting. Just jealous because I am in a country that is not dying or obese or drugged up or suicidal or on the verge of civil war or all of the other ills of the Us these days? YOU live in a police sate, not me.
Not to mention none of the things you accuse it of having. The Ps infrastructure is too new to have lead pipes. But you are too uneducated to realize that. Ditto for Duterte’s successful war on drugs which most Filipinos support. You better look at the US legal system today. Cops shooting kids, beating old people, etc. Trials are for the wealthy, not you.
I left when it was becoming obvious that the Us was in for a lot of well deserved pain. I live in paradise compared to America today. Best decision I ever made.
fmr-paultard on Sat, 14th Jul 2018 9:40 pm
aswang when i said lead not due to lead pipes. it’s been known since modern science that lead is poison. but i’m willing to bed phils use lead in water pipes also.
thanks for reavealing why u’re delusional. it’s the lead u drink.
when i said lead i talked of duterte shooting people. it’s a glaring indication of a failed society

excuse me but it’s ironic. if suicide shower is your thing, preach it. let us know the benefits
if sex with wife in boat unshowered is the thing, let us know.
i’m venture to guess there’s nothing good to write about, that has to be the reason.
so the problem has to be outside. that’s what jihadists think. everything is not their fault. it’s the other people’s faults so the answer is killing them.

“Fight or Flight?” — “… the number of U.S. citizens who are renouncing their citizenship continues to rise. Last year was another record, in fact, up 25% from the year before. The absolute number is still relatively small, but it’s been growing steadily since the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act was passed in 2010. Is this a trend you see accelerating?…
It used to be that a U.S. passport was the most valuable of travel documents, and being a U.S. citizen had many, many advantages. Now there are no significant advantages to being a U.S. citizen and many, many disadvantages….
Short of becoming one of the 7,000 Americans who annually burn their passport, what other steps can your average individual take to internationalize himself?…
…what do you say to the “remainers,” who view those of us who leave our so-called “home countries” as somehow being traitorous or unpatriotic?…
I’d say people who think that way, or feel that way, are possibly stupid. Certainly they’re thoughtless. They simply don’t understand that the place they are from is really just an accident of birth. They never ask themselves the question: Is the best country in the world the place where I just happened to be born? And why is that? Or do I think it’s the best place just because I happened to have been born there?…
… a person can shape himself into any form he envisions. You don’t have to slavishly accept the cards you’re dealt at birth.” BINGO!

Trumpet: “Washington has gained prestige for its diplomatic overtures to North Korea but is losing the trade war with the world’s second greatest power, China.
China, faced with Trump’s economic war, has diversified its trading partners thus undermining key US agro-business enterprises.
China has implemented tariffs on: canola, soybeans, corn, cotton, pork and beef.
Moreover, China has replaced the US as the main trading partner throughout Asia.
While Japan, South Korea and Australia provide military bases for the US they are eager to replace Washington’s export to China.
Moreover, China’s multi-billion dollar, Belt and Road Initiative has secured sixty-eight nations as partners, with the prominent absence of the self-excluded USA.”

Once the news breaks that US people are rising up against the elites..It will spread to Europe next..Your economy is going to collapse in the next decade..Likely just a few years.
I hope the populist are in charge..They will be the ones burned on the stake..
Wrong, it will be the US vassals and multicultist elites who will burn at the stake, at the hands of the populists, just like happened to the Moscow vassals in Eastern Europe in 1989.
The Soviet empire went kaputt in 1989, now the US empire will go kaputt, directly after Trump, in 2024 at the latest.
It is interesting to remember the events of the American rebellion, end 18th century, that is going to be reversed (America is a mistake):
https://deepresource.wordpress.com/2014/11/25/the-second-american-revolution/
The Boston massacre of 1770 was the first act of violence.
Boston Tea Party 1773
Founding Continental Army, Dutch weapons deliveries 1775
Declaration of Independence 1776
Saratoga, first victory colonialists 1777
Decisive French involvement 1778
Surrender Yorktown 1781
Paris 1783
So it took 8 years for foreigners to arrive and 11-13 years to complete the transition of power.
This should give you an idea of the timeframe of the reintegration of majority white parts back into Eurosphere (PBM). Expect Eurasian troops on North-American soil around 2030 and terminate CW2.
